You placed them on his
nightstand, but he knocked them down;
hyacinths don’t weep.

The author's comments:
Inspired by T.S. Eliot's "A Song for Simeon". By the way, I couldn't find a hyacinth image. So, don't mind the picture.

Life isn't measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments which take your breath away.

You are only as strong as your weakest link.
